the day after the op you feel tired and think it'll take ages to recover, the 2ndday you're feeling much better, and for me by day 3 i was feeling great and ready to go home (which i did on day 4).
Day 4 - I did 12 hours of travelling (2 flights and lots of hanging about int he airport - on my own) and was abosultely fine - I just paced myself.
Day 5 - I have driving, looking after a 5 year old and doing the shopping in Tescos.
Day 7 - I was back at work (although I do work from home so I guess that makes it easier) . I've never looked back.
I have however recovered quickly and well, no complications, no pain, no problems of any kind.
